Description

We invite research presentations from all perspectives on African-American language, literacy, and culture for the Second Annual Advancing African American Linguist(ic)s Symposium. We also invite papers that support the professional development of African-American linguists.

There are two presentation options: flash presentations and general research presentations.

●      Lightning Talks (open to K-12 students, undergraduates, graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, faculty, and those in careers beyond academia) will be 5 minutes long for all presenters.

●      Undergraduate general research presentations will be 10 minutes long with 5 minutes of questions

●      All other general research presentations (open to graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, faculty, and those in careers beyond academia) will be 20 minutes long with 10 minutes of questions.

Please send abstracts in PDF format to hbcuscholars at linguistics.ucsb.edu <mailto:hbcuscholars at linguistics.ucsb.edu> by July 14, 2020. Abstracts should be 500 words or less and limited to one page of text. Bibliography, glossed/transcribed examples, and images may appear on a second page of text and do not count toward the abstract word limit. Please indicate if you prefer a flash presentation or an undergraduate or general research presentation.

Abstracts that are exclusively authored by undergraduate and/or graduate students are particularly encouraged. We also encourage group submissions.

On Saturday, we will also be hosting webinars on the professional experiences of African-American linguists including publication, tenure and promotion, and strengthening the network of scholars who study African-American language, literacy and culture.
